“Any ‘revolution’ intended to address a social problem should cause us to reflect on why the problem exists in the first place. And yet neither the program’s critics nor its supporters have acknowledged the enormous role that immigration policy plays in adding to child poverty in the U.S. If child poverty is a social problem requiring large, no-strings-attached income transfers, then why do we have an immigration policy that adds to the problem, making it ever more difficult and costly to address? If we want to have less poverty in America, we are going to have to look hard at policies on immigration, legal and illegal.”
